Tanillya Partridge, a Roxboro, NC native was born to be a nurse. She has always showed compassion and loves caring for others. Tanillya started out as a Certified Nursing Assistant in 1997 getting her certification from Piedmont Community College. Preceding her certification, she worked for numerous hospitals and long term care facilities providing her patients with the best care possible.

After 10 years of working as a CNA, she decided it was time to go back and further her education. In 2005, Tanillya received her ADN from Vance Granville Community College in Henderson NC.

She even volunteers some of her time at a free clinic in Durham, NC. She has a great passion for helping the underserved population receive the best healthcare possible. Deciding to open Across the lifespan PLLC is one of her lifelong dreams, specializing in primary care and mental health. She gives credit to God for all of her accomplishments and accreditations. She honors her faith and God is the head of her life. She knows that with GOD all things are possible and nothing is impossible.

She is married to her husband, Andrew, and they have three sons Johnathan, Andrew, and Aviyon. Tanillya’s pastimes are singing and hanging out with friends and family.
